Clown from 1950’s Coney Island bids adieu, along with the rest of us, to 2008. In 2009, minus Astroland, Coney Island is going to look like a whole different place.
But I don’t want to be a total downer. The start of a New Year is a always beautiful thing, full of promise. And I’ll admit, clowns give me the creeps. Happy New Year!

I don’t like clowns either. I’m not sure many people do. A lot of our shops are going bust at the moment, so UK high streets will certainly be different.
Best wishes for the new year.
Clowns creep me out, but I’d rather keep the creepy clown than clean up a place as infamous as Coney Island. All the best for 2009
